This elegant (yet super simple!) salad with freshly squeezed citrus dressing is satisfying, nutritious, crunchy, sweet, and tart! It is a beautiful and tasty accompaniment to any meal and can also serve as a twist on your classic coleslaw!

• 2 stalks celery, cut in half lengthwise and sliced very thinly on the diagonal
• 1–2 cups crisp carrot microgreens (or a mix of your favorite)
• ½ cup dried cranberries, roughly chopped
• ½ cup toasted almonds, roughly chopped

Dressing:

• ¼ cup freshly squeezed orange juice
• 1 tbs fresh lemon juice
• 2 tsp Dijon mustard
• 2 tsp red onion, minced
• 2 tsp honey or maple syrup

2. Combine all the ingredients for the dressing in a jar and shake until mixed.
3. Just before serving, pour over salad. Adjust salt & pepper to taste.
4. Garnish with toasted almonds.
